Project: Workstation computer built using Orange Pi 4 running Linux fulfilling Goal:Technology.
Requirements
- open source software
- ability to build all of the components and utilities from source
- standalone and independent
- ability to build on the target hardware in order to be independent
- up-to-date software
- mainline kernel (with only a few necessary patches)
- actively maintained distribution
- NO binary blobs
Hardware
Details: Orange Pi 4 Hardware
- multiple 64-bit ARM cores which provides enough horsepower for common tasks
- 4 GB of LPDDR4 RAM is sufficient for common tasks given it will run Linux
- 1 Gbps Ethernet & WiFi & Bluetooth for solid connectivity
- tiny form factor frees up lots of space (compared to a standard desktop tower PC)
- low power consumption makes this cheap to run
- low noise levels thanks to a single slow running fan
Software
Experimental Stage
- ☑ Try pre-built images
- BSP Linux on Orange Pi 4: [+] everything mostly works, [–] old kernel with missing components
- Armbian on Orange Pi 4: [+] new kernel, [–] high power usage, incomplete HW support (e.g. graphics)
- ☆ Try custom-built images
- BSP Linux on Orange Pi 4: [+] ..., [–] ...
- Armbian on Orange Pi 4: [+] ..., [–] ...
- ☐ Design a custom image-building process
- ☐ U-Boot: U-Boot on Orange Pi 4
- ☐ Kernel: Mainline Linux on Orange Pi 4
- ☐ Rootfs: Rootfs on Orange Pi 4
- ☐ Image & flash an SD card
- ☐ Flash updates
